Microwave Lemon-Infused Delight

Ingredients

- 1 medium lemon
- 1 cup water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lemon:
- Rinse the lemon thoroughly under cold running water.
- Pat the lemon dry, then using a fine grater, zest half of it. Set the zest aside.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze its juice into a small microwave-safe bowl, ensuring that all seeds are removed. You should have about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Set the bowl aside.

2. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a microwave-safe mug or bowl, pour 1 cup of water.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Stir in the reserved lemon zest for an added burst of flavor.

3. Microwave the Mixture:
- Place the mug (or bowl) in the microwave.
- Set your microwave to high power and heat the mixture for 2 minutes.
- Carefully remove the mug (or bowl) from the microwave and stir the contents gently.

4. Allow to Steep:
- Let the lemon-infused water steep for 5 minutes to intensify the flavors.
- Optional: Cover while steeping to prevent the aroma and steam from escaping.

5. Serve:
- Taste and adjust with a bit more lemon juice if desired.
- Serve as a refreshing dinner accompaniment or prelude to cleanse your palate.
